Approach
Data source. Each product card shows two numbers: our derived (the avg rating + count from the 84 reviews we captured ourselves across 2026-01-31 → 2026-04-30) and Amazon's published(the total ratings figure currently visible on the product page). The derived numbers drive the complaint themes; the Amazon numbers are shown for context. Products with fewer than 25 captured reviews in the window are flagged “low confidence” — small samples are volatile.
How themes are derived. Each captured review is tagged by an LLM into a fixed list of 9 themes (sound quality, battery, fit, ANC, value, durability, connectivity, design, customer service) with sentiment positive / negative / mixed / neutral. A theme is flagged ↘ when net sentiment (negative% − positive%) within that theme is ≤ −0.30. Positive-leaning themes are excluded from this report by design.
